3. Technology vendor landscape*
The custodians
The enablers
We have the data and the workflow
We built it, you can rent it
Technology
vendors
The innovators
The arbitrageurs
As a startup looking to fill a need, you have to understand the technology vendor landscape. I categorize the vendors as the custodians, enablers, arbitrageurs, and innovators. I defined these categories in my book The Big Unlock, and in the following slides I will talk about each of them in some detail.
Remember that these are not necessarily your competitors. They could be your partners, or even customers.
We have a whole new way of doing it
We can do it for you
(and for less)

6. Market partnerships that are driving innovation
Humana, MultiPlan, Optum, Quest Diagnostics and UnitedHealthcare partner to launch a blockchain driven pilot program to improve data quality and reduce administrative costs burden related to provider directories (by using the encrypted system of data exchange that relies on a distributed ledger).
JPM, Amazon, and Berkshire form joint venture to focus on using big data, virtual technology, better customer engagement and more consumer choice to address critical healthcare problems and issues.

7. Where is all the money going ?
So – that’s a quick snapshot of the industry and the opportunity landscape. Now, consider that the healthcare IT industry has been getting around 5 billion on average every year for the past few years. Where all this money going? This quarterly report by Rock Health gives us an idea. You can map the investment categories listed here to my previous slide where I talked about stakeholder imperatives. Disease monitoring, health and wellness information, telehealth are all big categories. You can see some of the companies that have really scaled up nicely – Amwell is a great example. Companies like Teladoc are growing so fast they can’t keep pace, even though they are losing money.
On average, $5.2 billion was invested in the U.S. Health IT market in each of the last 5 years.
